Watch This Soccer Referee Strike Back Against Unruly Player

Soccer can be a pretty violent sport — especially if you are a referee. Videos have been surfacing lately of disgruntled soccer players beating up refs who don't give them the calls they feel they deserve and it looks like at least one referee has learned how to defend himself.

Check out this soccer game that went down in Argentina’s Copa Santa Fe recently where an official took protecting himself one step further. Not only did he deflect the strike of the unhappy player, but he smacked him right back, stunning the guy, leaving him in total shock.

Fast forward to about 5:00 in, and watch for the guy in the bright green shirt.
